Patient's question:
I am 54 years old. I was carefully examined six months ago and found to have kidney deficiency. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine for me to nourish my body, and I have been taking it consistently, but the effect has not been very good. Recently, I feel it has worsened. I even sweat during my afternoon naps at night. I want to know what to do about continuously worsening kidney deficiency and constant thirst in men?Doctor's answer:
At night, sweating during deep sleep indicates restlessness and thirst, which is a sign of depleted kidney yin. It is important to nourish yin and support the kidneys through proper care. You can take over-the-counter herbal medicines like Liuwei Dihuang Wan to nourish yin and support the kidneys. In terms of diet, you can consume more Lily Bulb and Tremella Soup, Chinese Yam and Goji Berry Congee, or drink Goji Berry tea as a substitute for regular tea for nourishment. Additionally, you can visit the traditional Chinese medicine department of a hospital for a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan, including herbal decoctions tailored to your specific condition.
